Delaware Valley College 16, Penn State Abington 0 (Game 2 - 5 innings)

ABINGTON (PA) - Senior Nicole Dorney went a combined 5-for-7 with six runs scored and seven RBIs and, in the process, became Delaware Valley College's all-time leader in RBIs as the Aggies swept host Penn State Abington, 25-1 and 16-0. Both games were called after five innings due to the eight-run mercy rule.

Dorney entered the twinbill needing to knock in five runs to break 1998 graduate Lorie Kochanski's record of 83 RBIs. The three-time, all-conference catcher tied the mark in the opener, as she went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, including a three-run homer in the fifth inning. The round tripper was the 16th of Dorney's career, adding to her school record in that category. She also tied a single-game record in the first game as she crossed home plate five times.

Dorney then broke the RBI record in the nightcap with a second-inning single. She knocked in two more runs with a fifth-inning double and finished the game 2-for-3.

Bethany Pavlik also had a big showing for Delaware Valley (5-9) in the opener as the sophomore went 3-for-5 with four runs scored and five RBIs, including a grand slam homer in the fourth inning. It was her team-best fourth home run of the season.

Robyn Jackson added to the 20-hit attack by going 4-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBIs. Lacy Miles went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and joined Dorney and three others in the past with a record-tying five runs scored. Brittany Stockert also went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs.

Jennifer Bummer set a single-game record of her own as the senior broke her own mark with 10 strikeouts. She allowed just one run and two hits over the five innings, en route to her second win of the season.

The nightcap saw Pavlik start her first collegiate game on the mound (she appeared in relief and picked up a win earlier in the year). She responded with a three-hit shutout and five strikeouts and also added two hits and three runs scored at the plate. Kim Harle and Ashley Lynch-Giangregorio had two hits apiece while Christin Yacco had a pinch-hit, two-run single.
